Flying a drone above Old Rome - Above Navona and the Tiber River

Take videos like this with your own DJI drone: amzn.to/2ry9BC7
Here is a video I shot with my drone flying above Old Rome (the municipal districts of Ponte, Regola, and Parione), also sometimes known as Navona. As I am not familiar with drone regulations in Rome (though the Hover app showed no restrictions in the area), so I decided to simply fly straight up and back down, with 360 degree pans at various altitude levels. I really like how it came out.
Landmarks you can see in this video include The Vatican, Castel Sant'Angelo (formerly Hadrian's mausoleum), Piazza Navona, The Pantheon, The Capitoline Hill, Campo de Fiori, The Tiber River, and more.
Rome is a city that is begging to be properly shot with a drone-based camera. It's safe to assume there are regulations about flying a drone around all the famous Roman landmarks, but if the city ever were to grant me a special license, I'd be on the first plane back to Rome.
The music that accompanies this video was suggested by my wife. It is a well-known 90's Italian pop song called "Diamante" by Zucchero Fornaciari.

*ROME* is the most beautiful city in the entire world. And you did a very good job capturing that.

Far better than a drone over Western Sydney!!!

There is no other City more beautiful than ROMA!...Lisbon, Barcelona, Seville - lovely places too, but, Really? The Eternal City!!!

[@markdarnell614]

No comparison to my "Drone Over Fresno & Bakersfield" video! - especially the fly-over Blackstone Ave, with it's 10 mile stretch of Arby's, Burger Kings, Home Depos, Wendy's, Chipotle's, 7-11's, and Parking Lots! ...Truly STUNNING! Yup! MAGA!

[@user-hw1cr5uq4z]

An excellent study of the Eternal City!

[@Dorianday2007]

K sorryyyyyy!!!!..... 🇮🇱Jerusalem is the eternal City. Read please the Bible 📖👈😼

[@carlozigoti9190]

@@Dorianday2007 Jerusalem was over thousands of years ago. And no: that is FAR from being the one and only Eternal City of Rome. Dude, really. You should go troll somewhere else. Envy is a sad thing.

Ridicolous versus London, Moscow, Madrid, Paris

[@marklanders6833]

So true. London, Moscow. Madrid and Paris are truly _ridiculous_ when compared to *ROME.* *ROME* remains the most beautiful, stunning, monumental, historic, artistic, creative and romantic city in the world.
